Some more debris including parts of a Roles Royce engine were found on a South African beach.

I just can't imagine what those families have gone through.  It just never ends for them does it?  Not knowing what happened or where their loved ones are must be sheer torture.  So sad.

Twenty of my colleagues were on that plane and 5 more people I work closely with were on a plane that left the same location a few hours later. They were almost on MG370, but opted for the later flight just the night before. They have a lot of survivor's guilt they've had to

We lost an entire department in the blink of an eye.

There have been three sets of debris found.  All of them either in the west or east of the deep southern Indian ocean. 

I doubt they will find any part of the plaine intact.  It's probably lying on the ocean floor.  Much too deep for anyone to find.  If they find anything more, much more likely bits & pieces of things.  I think the plane took the reason why with them.

@ChynnaBlue, I'm so sorry for your loss. It was such a devastating tragedy.

Oh @ChynnaBlue - I'm so sorry. What you must have been through.

How heartbreaking!  Just cannot imagine the grief at losing so many.

Thank you, @lrmuffin and @beach-mom. The hardest part was seeing it on the CNN every day for a month and hearing the conspiracy theories about the plane being hijacked because people terrorists or a government were after OUR people and some of the other engineers on the plane.

The people come up with those theories, that flight MH370 was hijacked for the engineers or harass the parents of the children killed at Sandy Hook because they don't believe anyone was killed... those people are a special kind of terrible and they made a very difficult situation even more awful.

We have a memorial garden for those lost on MH370 here on campus and March 8 is always a difficult day here. I'm sure it's much, much worse for the teams in Malaysia and China who were closer to the missing people who worked there. They had to replace a whole department and I was impressed by the sensitivity the company demonstrated while they also worked to fill the roles and how strong the other teams were in managing to keep getting work done while they grieved.

@ChynnaBlue Sorry for the loss to your workplace and others. 

The parts are what could be from a mission 777 but has anyone actually confirmed without a doubt it is from that flight. 

None of what was discovered about that flight made any sense at all.
